• #### Computing the long term evolution of the solar system with geometric numerical integrators ﻿

[SNAP-2017-009-EN] (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2017-12-27)
Simulating the dynamics of the Sun–Earth–Moon system with a standard algorithm yields a dramatically wrong solution, predicting that the Moon is ejected from its orbit. In contrast, a well chosen algorithm with the ...
• #### Computing with symmetries ﻿

[SNAP-2018-003-EN] (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2018-03-06)
Group theory is the study of symmetry, and has many applications both within and outside mathematics. In this snapshot, we give a brief introduction to symmetries, and how to compute with them.
• #### Configuration spaces and braid groups ﻿

[SNAP-2019-011-EN] (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2019-10-08)
In this snapshot we introduce configuration spaces and explain how a mathematician studies their ‘shape’. This will lead us to consider paths of configurations and braid groups, and to explore how algebraic properties of ...
• #### Conformal Differential Geometry ﻿

[OWS-40] (Birkhäuser Basel, 2010)
Conformal invariants (conformally invariant tensors, conformally covariant differential operators, conformal holonomy groups etc.) are of central significance in differential geometry and physics. Well-known examples of ...
• #### Congruences Associated with Families of Nilpotent Subgroups and a Theorem of Hirsch ﻿

[OWP-2019-16] (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2019-05-27)
Our main result associates a family of congruences with each suitable system of nilpotent subgroups of a finite group. Using this result, we complete and correct the proof of a theorem of Hirsch concerning the class number ...
• #### A construction of hyperbolic Coxeter groups ﻿

[OWP-2010-04] (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2010)
We give a simple construction of Gromov hyperbolic Coxeter groups of arbitrarily large virtual cohomological dimension. Our construction provides new examples of such groups. Using this one can construct e.g. new groups ...
• #### The contact polytope of the leech lattice ﻿

[OWP-2009-18] (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2009-03-12)
The contact polytope of a lattice is the convex hull of its shortest vectors. In this paper we classify the facets of the contact polytope of the Leech lattice up to symmetry. There are 1, 197, 362, 269, 604, 214, 277, 200 ...
• #### 1912 - Contemporary Coding Theory ﻿

[OWR-2019-13] (2019) - (17 Mar - 23 Mar 2019)
Coding Theory naturally lies at the intersection of a large number of disciplines in pure and applied mathematics. A multitude of methods and means has been designed to construct, analyze, and decode the resulting ...
• #### Contractive Idempotents on Locally Compact Quantum Groups ﻿

[OWP-2012-19] (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2012)
A general form of contractive idempotent functionals on coamenable locally compact quantum groups is obtained, generalising the result of Greenleaf on contractive measures on locally compact groups. The image of a convolution ...
• #### Control of Volterra systems with scalar kernels ﻿

[OWP-2009-16] (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2009-03-10)
Volterra observations systems with scalar kernels are studied. New sufficient conditions for admissibility of observation operators are developed and some examples are discussed.
